    I'm looking for a used battery, something that will hold at least an hour of run-time. Sounds dumb, but I'm looking for cheap, here.

    I'm needing a CCFL and a CD Rom and Caddy for same.

    Well this is cheap cd-rom eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices and battery Genuine working Panasonic CF-28 CF-48 CF-50 Battery CF-VZSU18A Guaranteed | eBay . You are not going to find them cheaper. These OEM batteries are getting very hard to find .

    A little info on Buying here & buying on ebay
    Please understand many of our members sell what you are looking for but you might find they are higher priced...why because we test and clean and test it again so you know you are getting a good one and most will stand behind them...try that with ebay sellers. :D

    Understood. I'd rather deal with someone here than ebay as well, it's just a budget thing.

    I'm having a lot of fun with this old computer. Hopefully with a few new parts and upgrades it will give me a couple years of reliable service. Then I'll move on to a 29 or 18.

    I'll send you a CD-ROM but you have to take the CF-28 too. 600 with a used but supposed to be good $9.95 mobo. Not installed.
    PM if you need a computer full of spare parts. Sorry no battery.
    PM if interested.

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    You don't give any specifics, but if you can use a non-touch display I've got one you can have for $5 plus shipping. Changing the display is a lot easier than replacing the CCFL.
